An old adage says: "What you don`t know won`t hurt you. This is very questionable in today`s society. A counter phrase to the foregoing is: "Ignorance of the law excuses none. "I did not know will not get you out.

Humility is a difficult and a necessary virtue for the Christian. Difficult, because as soon as I tell you of my humility, I have lost it. Yet necessary, because I need to have it and to express it in my living. With some effort at observation, you can recognize humility and see it in action in our world. Jesus says to note the f
